The Meaning of the Congregation's Logo

The logo symbolizes our call to be a Franciscan sisterhood under the patronage of St. Joseph and incorporates the Tau Cross, a Scriptural symbol which Francis adapted for his way of life, signifying continuing conversion for the renewal of the Church. Above the Tau are the crossed pierced hands of Jesus and St. Francis. The net represents our Gospel mission to gather all into the kingdom of God and the fullness of life.
